Australian Computer Society Skills Application

Hunter_08 · September 2018

@anntotsky you can check my signature.. nagpa assess ako for both software engineer and software tester and parehong positive naman yung assessment ko.. kasi nakita ko na almost same yung JD nila kaya for me mas okay ang SE since mas madaming options for visa and mas madaming opening for SS.

Hello po, question po... bakit po babawasan ni acs un work experience ng 2years? thank you.. sorry sa tanong.. sa lahat kasi ng forum sinasabi na babawasin daw automatic

Hunter_08 · September 2018

@jamzy12 yun kasi yung rule na nila na magbabawas sila ng min na 2yrs s work experience to be eligible for migration pero dipende pa yan kung ano ma aassess nila sa education mo kasi dun sila mag base kung ilang years yung ibabawas nila sa work experience mo.

RheaMARN1171933 · September 2018

@Hunter_08 @jamzy12 a more logical explanation is that the number of years they deduct is what they use to satisfy the suitability criteria as per Australian standards. So meaning even if you’ve completed your qualification yung first 2 years (or whatever years applicable) mo Sa work, dun ka pa lang nag accumulate ng skilled experience. Once you’ve passed that time period, you have enough work experience to claim na skilled work experience yung meron ka.

Refer to the guideline, it’s properly explained there.

@RheaMARN1171933 @Hunter_08 thank you

nalungkot ako

haha mukhang hndi aabot un score ko

jdash · September 2018

Tanong po:

If na-assess po ba ng migration agent na AQF Diploma(level5), ma-eenhance ba ng vendor certification yun IT Course(Bachelors) ko?

CCNP yun meron ako, kung tataas sa level6 or level7 sa AQF rank? sa ACS application.

(check JPG of AQF)
not also familiar with the ICT Major/Minor terms they use hehe

kasi i can only get 10 pts sa IT na bachelors course ko na natapos. (not known school).

Thank you sa sasagot.

agila · September 2018

@jdash wala yata points ung vendor certs.

jdash · September 2018

@agila thanks sa pagsagot, not the points pero yung nabasa ko dito, Cisco and Microsoft certs are assessed by ACS also, gusto ko lang maintindihan saang part ng Assessment nagmamatter yun Vendor Certification, sa Educational background or sa Work Experience deduction?

Thanks in advance

ray1188 · September 2018

@jdash sorry but your Education wont add up with the certifications. Either yung school mo or ung CCNP mo yung gagamitin nila for assessment but not BOTH. If CCNP mo then AQF Diploma yun minus 5 year or 6 years depende sa assessment nila same thing happend to me.

jdash · September 2018

Yun, thanks for the info, may idea na ko.

Hi, may question lang ako about sa pag file ng Review or ng Appeal.

I applied for assessment this June 2018, then I received a feedback last Aug na kailangan ko mag provide ng additional document. So I provided even the latest COE from my current company, dated Aug 2018 din. After a few days ko mag provide ng documents, nareceive ko na yung assessment letter ko.

I started my career ng July 2006, then nagbawas si ACS ng 4 years (bec of my course) so yung qualified experience lang is July 2010 onwards.

Yung assessment sa akin, bale July 2010 to June 2018, which is yung date ng 1st submission ko sa ACS. Nanghinayang ako kasi lumalabas na 7yrs and 11mos experience ito. 1 month short of the 8yrs experience na mas mataas na ang magiging score sana. Hindi nila naconsider yung latest COE na sinubmit ko, which is Aug 2018. Magiging 8yrs 1month sana ang experience ko kung naconsider yun.

Kailangan ko pa magfile ng review, or may laban ako kung Appeal ang isasubmit ko? Kung review kasi, same document lang din naman ang ibibigay ko, which is yung latest COE from my current company. Kung appeal naman, may pag asa kaya na manalo ang case and marefund ko ang $395 na additional fee?

Hope someone can answer. Thank you!

Hunter_08 · September 2018

@*charm* if same company ka naman ng june 2018 upto present no need for review or appeal. you can claim 8yrs for work exp basta kapag nag lodge ka na ng visa provide the latest COE.. pero kapag nagpalit ka ng employer ibang usapan na yun, you need to re-apply para ma consider yung new company mo.

jamzy12 · September 2018

salamat sa inyo.. binabasa ko na at iniintindi un link haha

pero nakakalungkot mukhang mababa un score na makukuha ko hehe

patotoy · September 2018

@jamzy12
mukang bata ka pa naman based sa pinanghihinayangan mong -2 years ng ACS, so time will come at makakapag apply ka din.

*charm* · September 2018

@Hunter_08
Ah pwede pala yung ganun. Kasabay pag lodge isubmit yung copy ng current COE. Nanghinayang kasi ako sa pwedeng additional 5pts kung ma-claim ko yung 8yrs. Thank you!

Hi everyone. Tanong ko lang po kung meron ba dito na nagpa assess ng teaching experience? First job ko kasi after ko mag graduate is 1 year teaching sa University which is under sa Section 2 institution. Iniisip ko lang kung paano i assess ng ACS yun.

According sa guidelines nila :

Teaching Experience
ICT Teaching must be in a recognised qualification at the level of an AQF Diploma or higher and at an institution recognised by the ACS assessment process.

Mga subjects na naituro ko includes: Computer fundamentals and programming, Digital Electronics, Principles of Communication, and Data communications.

I consider kaya nila to?

Thanks!

Hunter_08 · September 2018

jdash · September 2018

Mga sir, tanong ko lang sana, eto kasi ang current status ko, magttry na ko mag pa access sa ACS, graduate po ko ng CoE (5years) from a Section 2 school. Graduated April 2010.

Work Experience:

Company A
IT Tech Sr. Analyst (Sept 2017-Present) 1 year, 1 month

Company A
IT Tech. Analyst (April 2011-Aug 2017) 6yrs, 4 months

Company B
IT Support Engr (Jan 2011-Mar 2011) 2 months

Company C
IT Support (June 2010 - Dec 2010) 6 months

Is my job aligned po sa aking course ng college? Hope they can assess me as Bachelor's degree. Hope someone can share their expertise. Good luck po sating lahat!

patotoy · October 2018

@carlomorato
ang tanong ay kung aligned ang job roles and responsibilities mo sa AU job code (anzsco) na ipapa-assess mo.

iamabcd · October 2018

@carlomorato According po sa guidelines ni ACS..

A Bachelor degree must have:
• 33% ICT content for a 3 year course
• 25% ICT content for a 4 year course
• 20% ICT content for a 5 year course
The ICT content must progress through all years of the program with the final year being at an advanced level.

Additionally, eto pa po sabi ng guidelines:

ANZSCO ICT Content
In all educational qualifications, 65% of the ICT content must be closely related to the nominated occupation (ANZSCO) to meet the suitability criteria.

In short, sa 20% na ICT content ng curriculum ninyo, 65% po dun dapat related sa inyong napiling ANZSCO code na ipapa assess nyo kagaya ng sabi ni @patotoy.

anntotsky · October 2018

Tanong po.. may guidelines ba s size ng document na inattach? Kailngan ba a4 lahat

iamabcd · October 2018

@anntotsky Wala po specified na document size sa guidelines. As long as scanned document does not exceed 200 DPI and file size and does not exceed 3MB.
